56. Overtime
The most frequently traded prime time is from 8:30 p.m. to 24 a.m. This time period corresponds to the afternoon time in Europe and the United States. More than 80% of the trading volume of international gold trading is completed during this period. But the price movement during this period is the largest, and some people catch the ups and downs of the price at this time and earn the difference between the ups and downs in between.
Yang Miao looked at the data line of the ups and downs of gold prices, combined with the analysis of the international situation that she has recently paid attention to, and thought that the next gold price will increase slightly, so she suggested that Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Boss, we can buy it now, and when the gold price rises, we can sell it." If we can apply 10x leverage, we can go long. ”
To be long means that gold will continue to rise, so buy now and sell when it rises, earning the difference in the middle.
Zhou Xiaoqiang did not agree or disagree, he continued to search for some introductory things for buying and selling gold, and he was still understanding the rules of buying and selling.
After a while, he turned back to Yang Miao and said, "Then let me make a start." Buy $10 million first, apply for 10x leverage short. "10 million ten-fold leverage shorting is equivalent to calling 100 million market gold positions. At the current market price of gold, they could have about 65,000 ounces of gold. The meaning of shorting is to borrow gold and sell it when the price of gold is high, buy it back and return it to the market when the price is low, so as to sell high and buy low, as long as the gold price is lower than the current gold price, then when it falls to the trough, they can get a difference when they close the position.
This difference multiplied by the share of gold held this time is their profit this time.
Yang Miao said: "Boss, now the form of all countries is good, especially the demand for gold in the Chinese market is increasing, gold may be going to rise, why do you want to buy short?"
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "I'm just relying on feelings, don't think about it so much, isn't it just 10 million." Let's have a meal first, and we'll see how it goes. ”
It's just 10 million! Are rich people so willful?
When encountering such a boss who does not listen to advice, she, the manager, seems to have no sense of existence. She is a professional talent, but the boss is based on feelings. Do you feel more accurate than your professional analysis?
If the boss has been like this in the future, it is estimated that Yang Miao will not need to write any market research reports, nor do she need to make investment reports or anything.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Xiaoqiang took a nap and wandered around Hong Kongdu, which is simply a shopping paradise, where you can buy luxury goods from all over the world. As one of the three major financial centers, it has its own economic advantages.
Zhou Xiaoqiang bought two sets of cosmetics for Li Ting and Zhao Wan in a luxury store, and it was unreasonable not to come here without bringing them some gifts.
He thought about it again and brought Yang Miao a set of luxury cosmetics. In the evening, after Yang Miao received the gift, she happily kissed him on the face again. Yang Miao said: "Boss, you are so good to employees, do you have bad intentions for employees?"
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "So what, do you want it?"
Yang Miao said: "Don't be a fool if you have a gift, not to mention that the boss is young and promising, and the person is good, I look very pleasing to the eye." I'm afraid that the boss is a strict wife, and I don't dare to steal it. ”
After Yang Miao got the job opportunity, she stayed in the office, she kept collecting data with glasses, and used the computer to analyze the trend of international gold prices.
Yang Miao is like a workaholic, and it is estimated that he has not drunk water in the afternoon. Zhou Xiaoqiang made her a cup of chrysanthemum tea, cleared her liver and eyes, Yang Miao took it and said thank you.
Yang Miao analyzed her data and came to the conclusion that the price of gold would rise slightly, but she saw that in the gold trading trend, the price of gold had fallen to $1,440 per ounce, a full $10 price reduction from the noon purchase, and if the position was closed at this time, it would already be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Yang Miao admired Zhou Xiaoqiang's feelings a little.
Zhou Xiaoqiang also looked at the trend chart, the phantom star flew to the end of the trend chart, drawing a trajectory, and the trajectory of the phantom star suggested that the gold price would continue to fall.
At this time, investors who were long on the Internet issued barrages, and some people revealed that the decline in gold prices this time was due to the decline in production in oil-producing countries.
Yang Miao hurriedly asked Zhou Xiaoqiang: "Boss, if we sell it now, we can make a profit of hundreds of thousands of dollars, do you want to close the position?"
Zhou Xiaoqiang shook his head and said: "It has not been reduced to the minimum, I estimate that there is still room for decline, continue to add an additional 10 million, and apply for 10 times leverage shorting."
"Are you going to be short again?" I'm a little scared!" Yang Miao didn't understand.
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "Listen to me, I have a feeling that the price of gold will continue to fall, and then we will make a lot of money." ”
Yang Miao felt that she could only help with her fingers when she was hired, and the investment decision-making power was not with her at all.
She doesn't seem to need her own thinking, she doesn't need her own plan, she just listens to the boss, there is a good metaphor for such an existence, a vase! Yang Miao was a little lost and a little frustrated. She was even more angry in her heart, hum, let you be willful, wait for your money to be lost and see what you do.
But because she has no salary, her future income will have to rely on Zhou Xiaoqiang's profits and dividends, if she has not paid dividends, how can she repay the money owed to Zhou Xiaoqiang?
Yang Miao had no choice but to follow Zhou Xiaoqiang's instructions to buy gold with the other $10 million in the account, and applied to the bank for 10 times leverage shorting.
After the transaction, the two went out to eat together, preparing to wait for eight o'clock in the evening, and after the golden time of trading came, they came over to have the energy to keep an eye on the market and close the position at any time.
By eight o'clock in the evening, the price had fallen by another $10 from the morning.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoqiang's phantom star fell first and then rose on the gold price trend chart, indicating that it was about to bottom out.
"Close the position!" Zhou Xiaoqiang said.
Yang Miao listened, quickly helped the glasses, issued a closing order, sold high and bought low with a middle price of 20 yuan, this time the position was opened and closed, and they made a profit of 1.86 million US dollars after settlement.
Yang Miao was very excited, she could get more than 100,000 US dollars in dividends this time, and she could pay off the money she borrowed from Zhou Xiaoqiang at one time. But she decided that as long as Zhou Xiaoqiang urged her to repay the money, she would never pay it back, so that the relationship with the boss would be more special.
Yang Miao used to earn so much a day at most, but then she couldn't, sometimes she didn't have a business, and she even had to borrow money to live. At this moment, it seems that her spring is coming again.
"Boss, your profit today is almost 10% of your principal. This speed of making money is incredible, if all your 200 million yuan is used to short gold, our harvest today is estimated to be ten times that of this. If we apply for 100 times the leverage to buy, wouldn't we be able to earn 100 million yuan a day! Boss, how do you know that the price of gold will continue to fall? Is it really based on feelings?" Yang Miao looked at Zhou Xiaoqiang, who was very calm, and suddenly felt that he was so unfathomable.
Xiaoqiang said: "You're right, it's really by feeling." I'll let you do it next time, and if you're not sure, ask me how I feel. ”
This time, she could share more than 140,000 profits, and overnight she became a little rich woman again.
She transferred $140,000 to her account and prepared the accounts for review at the end of the year.
Yang Miao was very happy, she had been beautiful and lost, and some time ago she thought she was going to quit this stage. But now, her success story is once again in the eyes of her peers, and this is her first battle since her return. Although the final commander of this battle is Zhou Xiaoqiang, he doesn't seem to want others to know about his existence, so he found her as a trader.
"I have already checked out of the hotel, and I am going to work here in the evening to learn about the changes in the market. What about you, boss, are you going to the hotel to rest?" Yang Miao asked as she looked at Zhou Xiaoqiang, who was sitting in the boss's chair and playing with his mobile phone.
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "No, the doctor said that you can't work overtime, do you want to die suddenly at work and cause me to suffer a lawsuit?"
Yang Miao looked at Zhou Xiaoqiang's face, and found that there was a sincere and concerned look on his face, and she was suddenly very moved in her heart. She went to the United States alone to work and study to complete her studies, and many people approached her to covet her beauty, and even several boyfriends cruelly left her after learning that she had a heart attack. She spent all her savings to see a bad doctor, and returned to her hometown, but she also had no good luck. Slowly, Yang Miao also believed that sentence, and her face was thin. When she was most embarrassed, she even wanted to sell her old house, or even commit suicide. But after meeting Zhou Xiaoqiang, it seems that everything is different, this boss doesn't seem to be a vampire, and even has some stupidity, and he knows how to care about people. Life doesn't seem to be so bad.
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "As the old saying goes, the body is the capital of the revolution, and I am not a capitalist vampire. Besides, this investment thing is not something that can be done well by staying up late and spending time, what is needed is to seize the opportunity. The health is not good, the manager is insufficient, and you can't find out if you have the opportunity in front of you, and you can't catch it. ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang said: "I am still a student, just half a year ago I was still worrying about the college entrance examination, because I used to have poor physical fitness, long-term illness, my parents were even afraid that I would die." I am 22 years old, and I have just started college, and some of my classmates are estimated to have graduated at the age of 22. It's because I'm not in good health. ”
Yang Miao said: "Your body looks healthy, and when you rescued me yesterday, you subdued those two big guys." ”
Zhou Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "That's because I got better later, after I got better, I didn't have to take exams or anything, I studied with half the effort, and even making money became powerful." Do you think the body is the most important thing?"
Yang Miao nodded, but she remembered what the doctor said, and said very disappointed: "The doctors in the United States and Hong Kong all say that my angina cannot be cured, and I can only recuperate." I also want to live like I did before the disease, but my body doesn't allow it. ”
